Easy One Skillet Lasagna Recipe
The Skillet Lasagna Recipe is partly like the original one but more straightforward. This easy skillet lasagna eliminates 5 significant tasks, making it a lot easier and faster. As an added bonus, there’ll be only 1 cookware to clean afterward. Frankly, it won’t be as flavorful, but it is still delicious by itself.
Equipment
- Skillet or Pan
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb lean ground beef can be pork, chicken, or turkey
- 1/2 large chopped onion
- 2 cloves minced/crushed garlic
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tsp red pepper flakes optional
- 1 cup diced vegetables carrots, celery, mushroom, or zucchini
- 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes low sodium
- 8 oz tomato sauce
- 10 sheets lasagne broken up, 4 cups for other types of pasta
- 1½ cup water
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese
- 5 fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- In a large skillet or pan, heat up olive oil over medium-high heat. Then, cook the meat until brown. Once brown, drain the fat (but leave at least a tablespoon).
- Sauté the onion, and veggies for about 3-5 minutes. Then, add garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes until aromatic for approximately 30 seconds.
- Add the crushed tomatoes sauce, water, and afterward, mix.
- Subsequently, top with the lasagna noodles. Pour the 8 oz tomato sauce over the lasagna noodles and stir everything together, making sure that the lasagne sheets are coated with the sauce.
- At this point, you can finally season it with salt and pepper to taste. You can skip this part if it already tastes good for you. Remember, you’re still going to add cheese which will make it a bit sweet.
- Now, reduce the heat to medium-low to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, while mixing intermittently. Make sure that the pasta doesn’t stick together.
- Next, add in a ¼ ricotta and ¼ mozzarella, and fold in.
- Then, top with the parmesan cheese and remaining ricotta and mozzarella. Cover and cook for 2-3 more minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Finally, remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped (or julienned) fresh basil. Serve while hot.
